Things that Make a Space Pleasant

Whether you're interested in architecture, decorating, landscape design or simply want to imagine a 'happy place' for meditation or mental health exercise, here are some things to consider

    1. Light.

    0
    Usually bright natural light is best. Dark or dim spaces can be good for resting but can get depressing.

    2. Space

    0
    Leg room. Somewhere you can put your stuff, the ability to move around the space without tripping, stumbling or whatever.

    3. Plants.

    0
    Flowers, ferns, whatever. The colours help and so does the extra oxygen

    4. Animals.

    0
    Chirping birds, or if you've ever been in a pub where a cat resides you know what I mean. Unless you have allergies, in which case, the more pet-free, the better.

    5. Materials

    0
    Wood, Brass fixtures are nice. Maybe leather. Some carpets. It's about both colour and feel, or even smell.

    6. Sound

    0
    Music can create the right ambiance, but keeping out external noises and pleasant acoustics are important too.

    7. Water

    0
    Water features make pleasant sounds and the negative ions generated by falling water can boost mood. A pond or pool can be nice too.

    8. Softness

    0
    A nice couch, recliner, bean bag, divan, bed, whatever. Cushions, blankets.

    9. Temperature

    0
    I'd rather be a little too cold than a little too hot... how about you?

    10. Gravity

    0
    I've never experienced a non-Earth field of gravity, but if I could, I imagine it would do a lot for the comfort I feel in a given space.
